Is the Army's New M7 Rifle Already Doomed?
Even after dropping the "X" in XM7 and receiving its official designation, the M7 program may not be safe and could face the same fate as the M14.
With more soldiers speaking up about its flaws and shortcomings and major programs like the M10 Booker getting killed off, it isn't crazy to think that the M7 could face the executioner like so many M16 and M4 replacements that came before it.
We examine a recent report ripping the rifle to pieces, how Sig Sauer and the Army are responding, and what this could mean for the Army's latest attempt to replace the M4.
